	Title: Model G2-holonomy Singularities, M-theory and QFT’s in 3,4 and 5 dimensions. Abstract: Understanding singularities in physics is significant in a broad range of contexts like cosmological initial conditions, black holes, renormalisation and scattering amplitudes. In string/M-theory we have learned that very special kinds of singularities in physical space have perfectly reasonable and interesting physical behaviour, often supporting interacting QFT’s and even conformal field theories. Models of the extra dimensions of space provided by G2-holonomy spaces provide a broad framework for investigating these systems. After introducing the exceptional Lie group G2 and G2-holonomy spaces we review earlier work in which conical singularities have provided insights into confining 4d gauge theories, including confining strings and domain walls. We then describe more recent investigations which in principle give rise to 3d and 4d QFT’s from rather intricate “interfaces” between 7d and 5d QFT’s.
